Hello all,
I am the original owner of a Beogram 3000 tangential 5903. I have a ticking noise in the motor. The local shop was unable to source a motor. I was told the motor part number was 840126.
I love my turntable and am looking for help, guidance, suggestions to help me fix my turntable.
thank you!
be safe , be well

I think this is the plattern drive Motor, do you hear that noise when the belt is not on the platter?
If you shure the motor is the reason , email me, I have a spare motor.

Hello Wilfred,
yes it is the motor that drives the platter.
Yes you can hear the noise with the belt removed
thank you
This is a common issue and it is fixable if you're handy with small tools. Directly from the keyboard of B&O guru Tim Jarman:
This is caused by the magnetic ring for the FG servo just above the commutator inside the motor. There is a plastic “tyre” that holds it in place in the motor and these age and then crack - the loose end gets mixed up with the brushes and make a noise. Normally just removing the offending loose piece is all you have to do, the ring seems to stay in place by itself. To get at it, remove the bottom of the motor, unsolder the PCB and then take off the brush plate. It is much easier to put it back together if you take the pulley off first, then you can insert the rotor into the brush plate before sliding the complete assembly into the stator. Be sure not to lose any of the spacers and washers on the motor shaft, their positions are important. A tiny spot of oil on the two bearings is also a good idea while it is in pieces.
I've probably done half a dozen or so and it gets easier and quicker with practice!
